Signal Description

• Sometimes we can find BAT54AW near ICS.

• VRMPWRGD and SLP_S3# must be 3V

• Finally, CLKVCC offer 3V PWRGD to Clock

Generator .

• If Clock Generator doesn’t work, you must measure

this PWRGD signal first.

Visual Inspection

check CLK Gen. and related small

components are ok

Change damaged CLK

Gen.& NG components

Measure CLK Gen. Voltage InputCheck CLK Vcc 3V &

related trace component

Fix any trace open and

change any NG RLC

component

Change CLK Generator

Measure X’TAL 14.318Mhz is okCheck X’TAL & related

two Capacitors are ok

Change NG X’TAL or

Capacitor

Check which CLK signal is wrong

Trace the circuit, check

related trace & resistor,

Repair Technique-Visual Inspection

1

Visual Inspection to check Clock

Generator and related small

components are not damaged.

Repair Technique-Measure Vcc_CLK

2

Use Multi-Meter or Oscilloscope to

measure Clock voltage 3.3V is ok.

Repair Technique-Measure CLK X’TAL

3-1

3-2

Use Oscilloscope to measure

Clock X’TAL 14.318Mhz is ok.

Repair Technique-Check Individual NG signal

4

Use Oscilloscope to

measure every individual

CLK signal. If find error

please trace the circuit to

find it’s connection.

If related RLC components

are ok but CLK still is NG

please try to change CLK

generator at last.

Thank You!
